Even though taxes keep so-called, "legalized Marijuana" more expensive than the black-market, and that dispensaries are fronts for organized crime, selling ditch weed imported from Mexican cartels through Arizona and New Mexico Federal parks land where Americans are now advised not to visit, the fact that Orygunites are now free to grow their own makes grass virtually legal.
Orygunites??? Anyways...in Portland, some shops are selling for $5 a gram. A price the average drug dealer can't compete with. The only thing that might give that competition any trouble would be the 25% tax that goes into effect in January.
I feel the dispensaries are making a hell of profit right now, and when the taxes come in, the prices will still be about the same. Otherwise the black market will win again.
